Hi Ken Today manufacturing ? machining moves into specialize targeted market. There are big size manufacturing company that can produce part that cost more than that middle size brand new cnc mill!
Some NC program if print out in letter size 10, will be 200 pages plus long with use canned cycles! Because program is so big -200 pages it is impossible manually alter the code. To change something need use Catia and to check if everything ok need use another software. It is super big risk to let machinist to change any parameters in controller. I am sure that it is unique situation and that will bring unique solution. CAD /CAM become less expensive ? $15 000 for all 5 axis milling and parts become more complex and expensive. So PC that runs CAD/CAM becomes extension of machine controller. From this perspective codes that I mentioned can be good foundation in generation of universal G codes. I am interesting in specific and targeted criticism of my proposal Thank you, Aram ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
